[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 24883622, member: 119259"]I purchased a coin on VCoins from a dealer named Athena Numismatics that seems to be based in Amherstburg, ONTARIO Canada.

Here is the coin, [IMG]https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/18/C/cM6WB7ppoY5m2iMGSFr94fNYoi8EKd.jpg[/IMG] Alexander III AR Drachm 4.04 grams Miletus mint circa 325-323 Price 2088 Lifetime Issue I've did some reading online regarding Athena Numismatics and overall the reviews have been negative. On his silver coins, he seems to have put some chemical, naval jelly or done some procedure that puts blueish toning on the coins which looks totally hideous and artificial. My original plan was to remove that artificial toning, remove the deposits on the coin and retone the coin natrually.
